Cheesy Potato Soup with Ham and Bacon

Are we in prime comfort food season or what? I’m a Southern girl so I know it’s not too chilly here in Georgia by many people’s standards but I’m going to go with my roots and say when the temps hit about 50 I’m ready for my sweatshirts and soups! (Don’t make fun of me my Northern friends, my Michigander husband does that enough for all of you!)

Today I have for you absolute comfort food perfection: Slow Cooker Cheesy Bacon, Ham and Potato Soup. Yes, that’s right: one soup chock full of all my favorite comfort foods, often called a Loaded Baked Potato Soup! And the great news is that it’s super easy and fail proof to boot.

How to Make Potato Soup in a Slow Cooker

I like to set this cheesy potato soup to cook in the morning and then serve in the afternoon/evening topped with some sour cream and maybe some chives and extra cheese, because you know, you can never have too much cheese!

I also like to make this potato bacon soup when my husband might have to work late or we’re off schedule with the kid’s sports because you can come home and eat it whenever and it doesn’t get overcooked if you leave it in an extra hour or two when schedules are off. So I can feed the kids at 5 and set it to low and it’s every bit as good for him hours later if he has a late night.

And before I give you the recipe, can I tell you one more thing? This was probably the most difficult recipe to photograph ever! Potato soup isn’t naturally pretty and I made this soup SO many times before I was able to get some good pictures of it! (Not that my family minded all that taste testing!) I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
